Chapter 527 Gaudy Gift (2)

In that instant, Su Miaolan seemed to be able to hear the quiet snickers of everyone!

Just when she was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do, a eunuch raised his voice to make an announcement.

"King of Qi has arrived—"

The King of Qi!

The eyes of many noblewomen lit up, while the ladies were both expectant and afraid...

When he bared his claws and teeth back then at Wentian Terrace, they could only feel his power when they watched him. However, his lightly spoken words left four families in tatters, especially when their former friends have been sent to the Jiaofang Department. They admired Gong Jue's looks and dominance, but at the same time, they feared his ruthlessness and mercilessness.

But no matter what they thought, Gong Jue is only here to look for his Imperial Sister!

Gong Jue is too wary, so as soon as he received news of Gong Che's return, he immediately rushed back from the outskirts. He wouldn't give Gong Jue any opportunities.

When Gong Che heard that Gong Jue had come, his smile also froze. Wasn't he training the forbidden army in the wilderness? How did he get the news so quickly?

Gong Yimo was happy at first, then, remembering what the Emperor said, her smile sank again.

As soon as Gong Jue arrived, he first glanced over at Gong Yimo before bowing to the empress.

Upon seeing Gong Che, he wasn't surprised and also bowed very coldly to him before pulling Gong Yimo, wanting to leave with her.

At this moment, Gong Che suddenly got up and subconsciously pulled Gong Yimo's other hand as he looked at the unconcealed chill emanating from Gong Jue's body.

Gong Yimo was dragged off all the way and she was a bit confused.

"Gong Jue, where are you taking me?"

When she asked this, the two had already arrived at a garden. Gong Jue suddenly stopped, causing her to almost bump into him.

At this moment, he turned around and looked deeply into the eyes of the person in front of him. With complicated emotions, he asked in a low voice...

"Imperial Sister, I heard that Father Emperor had sought you out urgently today. What did he need you for?"

As soon as he brought up this matter, Gong Yimo felt a little unhappy. She shook off Gong Jue's hand and muttered.

"You're hurting me!"

Gong Jue saw her emotions dampen but he scoffed instead and said in a soft voice.

"Father wants you to persuade me to marry, doesn't he?"

Gong Yimo glared at him.

"Why are you still asking if you know?"

Gong Jue looked at her, and for some reason, a hint of affection suddenly appeared in his ink-black eyes, and his tone became gentle.

"It's nothing...I just want to know, were you happy or sad when Father asked you to do that?"

Gong Yimo froze. She did not expect Gong Jue to ask her this.

He continued to press her, not allowing her to evade the question.

"...Are you happy that you can finally get rid of me, or is there still the slightest bit of hurt in your heart?"
